It shows he values being in control more than he values quality. For example if he cared most about quality he'd use a real drummer instead of a drum-machine.

Trent may be slightly control-freak ish but him not having a band makes no difference to the quality of his music, in fact it's probably better. Every single one of his albums are so intricately crafted (especially the fragile and ghosts) that it's so much more BETTER than having a band (does the drummer know the feeling behind a particular song? No) just playing together in a room. Tren't KNOWS what the songs are about, and in someway this also shows through to even the slight twang on a guitar string.

And, in a couple of songs he DID get a drummer in. Dave Grohl played on With Teeth. In fact, With Teeth and the Slip WERE mostly recorded in an opened roomed way. (Probably why I don't like them AS much)

I've become impossible
Holding on to when
When everything seemed to matter more
The two of us
All used and beaten up
Watching fate as it flows down the path we have chose

You and me
We're in this together now
None of them can stop us now
We will make it through somehow
You and me if the world should break in two
Until the very end of me
Until the very end of you

Awake to the sound as they peel apart the skin
They pick and they pull
Trying to get their fingers in
Well they've got to kill what we found
Well they've got to hate what they fear
Well they've got to make it go away
Well they've got to make it disappear

The farther I fall I'm beside you
As lost as I get I will find you
The deeper the wound I'm inside you
Forever and ever I am a part of

You and me
We're in this together now
None of them can stop us now
We will make it through somehow
You and me
If the world should break in two
Until the very end of me
Until the very end of you

All that we were is gone we have to hold on
All that we were is gone we have to hold on
When all our hope is gone we have to hold on
All that we were is gone but we can hold on

You and me
We're in this together now
None of them can stop us now
We will make it through somehow
You and me
Even after everything
You're the queen and I'm the king
Nothing else means anything

She shines
In a world full of ugliness
She matters
When everything is meaningless

Fragile
She doesn't see her beauty
She tries to get away
Sometimes
It's just that nothing seems worth saving
I can't watch her slip away

I won't let you fall apart

She reads the minds of all the people as they pass her by
Hoping someone can see
If I could fix myself I'd—
But it's too late for me

I won't let you fall apart

We'll find the perfect place to go where we can run and hide
We'll build a wall and we can keep them on the other side
…But they keep waiting
…And picking…

It's something I have to do
I was there, too
Before everything else
I was like you

'Cause you can't handle me...
